Get High On TapCloud

Platform: Iphone Today at App Of My Eye, we will be using TapCloud’s screenshots from the App store. Why? TapCloud by Qubop uses your IPhone camera for the background of its game and the palatial offices Ed, Art and I share are not appropriate for the World Wide Web. The gameplay is simple – you must [...]

outWord

Are you looking to spice up your library of word games?  Yes, I said ‘WORD GAMES!’  Millions of people cannot be wrong, right?  If I hazard to guess, there are probably more people playing crossword puzzles, word search, Jumble-type, and Scrabble-like games around the world than World of Warcraft and any combination of the current Top 10 video games [...]

Caster

I know that you know I always start my recommendations with some whimsical anecdote from my youth or my early professional career.  The other device I use is comparing a game to something that I have seen in the past.  Well, this entry will use two of the three to double your pleasure!  When I first [...]

Bedeviled 1: The Most Diabolical Sliding Puzzle Ever

When Darrel reached out to us to check out his game, we were skeptical about how good it could be considering the bravado shown in the title alone.  “Most Diabolical Sliding Puzzle Ever”?!  Really?  What shameless hubris!  Such undeniable self-promotion not only for the game, but also for the creators!  This is the kind of language and attitude that people [...]

Skateropolis

Altough my knowledge of skateboarding has been limited to the documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys (at least it’s not Gleaming the Cube),  Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 & 2 on the SEGA Dreamcast and Sony PlayStation 2 respectively, and the lingering effects of a deep bone bruise from a banana board accident in the summer of 1983, I am aware of the significance of the [...]

WifiPad

To take a break from iPhone games (believe it or not), I check out games on the PC.  In tough economic times like these, a good source of free games comes from the Internet at websites like AddictingGames.com and Download.com as well as cable channel websites like Discovery, MTV, and SciFi.  Call them casual or online games, [...]

Darts

I’m pretty sure I’ve played darts more in video games than I have in an actual bar, but I really do prefer it that way.  I mean, haven’t you ever had that fear you’ll hit someone in the head with a dart and it’s so deep that pulling it out would cause irreparable damage?  God [...]
